What is Domain Name?
Every human being has a name
which can easily create identity of individual person. Similarly in case of
website there must be a name which will create their own
identity. And this name known as Domain. It is just like dominating something.
The only one thing is that 2 domain name can’t be similar with others like
human.
For example, my website name is bloggerspice.com and I am registered owner of this name and nobody can own this name. And bloggerspice.com is my domain name.
For example, my website name is bloggerspice.com and I am registered owner of this name and nobody can own this name. And bloggerspice.com is my domain name.
In case of domain registration
we see it ends with .com which is called suffix. Domain name will not always
with .com suffix because there are different suffix are using for domain like,
.net, .org, .org, .edu.
I think you are bit confused that why are using those suffix?
There are simple reason for using .net, .org, .gov, .edu etc.
I think you are bit confused that why are using those suffix?
There are simple reason for using .net, .org, .gov, .edu etc.
- .net use for networking site
- .org use for organization
- .gov use for governmental site
- .edu use for educational organization site
More interestingly when we go
for register a domain name then if your favorite domain name by .com is not
available then there is a chance to get on .net or .org suffix.
Beside of this there are some
local domain where you can register for local site. Such as-
- .bd for Bangladeshi local domain
- .in for Indian local domain
- .uk for United Kingdom local domain
Now the question is how we can
get domain name? For getting domain name you must find out first a unique name
which is not using by any website or blog.
There are many domain name seller available locally and over the net. Just you have to pay an annual fee $9 to $12 for purchasing a domain name. And you must renew the domain name yearly by giving renewal fee.

What is Web hosting?
I was started with an example
that human name and domain name. So
human need dwell for living and domain name also need space for existing. That
space for existing we can say hosting storage space. For more clarity I am
giving another real example, In
BloggerSpice I am publishing blog post regularly with text, images and sometime
adding video tutorial.
So for those text, image and videos a storage space must require. For this reason we have to buy hosting which is simply say storage space for our website or blog data. And my blog is hosted on Google blogger that means all of my post text, images, and videos saving on Google.

More clearly, if we upload a
video clip of YouTube then our video is hosting by YouTube.
Web hosting is vary platform
to platform. For example, I am using Google Blogger and they are giving me free
hosting space. For this reason I have only purchased Domain name not any
hosting space. But if you want to use WordPress, Opencart or any other platform
then you must buy hosting storage.
There are many popular web
hosting seller available over the net. Such as HostGator, GoDaddy, Blue,
DreamHost, BlueHost, Askforhost etc. You can simply purchase space from those
site and integrate your domain name with hosting.
In conclusion, hope this
article will help you to differentiate between the domain name and hosting
space.
Google Blogger user sometime become confuse about hosting name that they think hosting name and domain name must be similar but this is not necessary because Goggle identify your site by name server and site verification.
